Ystorm

Ystorm.

In the thick pitch-howling 
Rocking the walls
Tree cracking  at the
 windows rattle
Of my edges
Comes the Presli 
Night storm screeching 
Calling my name -  like a lover.
Over Drigarn and into town
Across thicket fields and livlock hills
And cae Bach and Parc
It pushes, shoves and claws its way
To my small caravan hedge-tucked 
 it finds my far away bed!
 in the isolated cwm
Where no lights shine 
here in Tegfryn Lletty 

Ti yw'n unig ac yn unig!
It blasts my soul.
 it scorns under the floor
Under the door
Freezing to the core
And down the gutter pipes 
Accusing me in essence and being
Of not living.

Rwyf wedi dy ddarganfod di.
Ti hunan-gynffonig yw.
Ni fyddi di'n cymryd dy gadair, na gwisgo dy ddillad Derwydd!

I have said the deep spell in Baladaulyn
Dwfn Annwfn was the incandescences.
I mix the spells red and white!
I have uttered the last swnion 
Down the poison chalice of Ceridwen 
And now I’m the lone alone man
So Profoundly so.
That the  storm translates me 
penetrates me
transfigures me
 and becomes me 
Fi yw e!
